Let the waters rise

wash this town into the sea

Let the waters rise

and find my lover where she sleeps

 cause i don't know where she is or what company she keeps

all i know is where she should be

so let the waters rise

and bring her home to me

Let the waters rise

I'm too tired now for searching

Let the waters rise

and hide the tears i cried for that woman

coz it just isn't fair that she's out there havin' fun

when I'm stuck here and having none

so let the waters rise

bring me my only one

 and I've been on my own sitting in my window

waiting by the phone for you to call

 and every time a wind blows i hear the subtle tone

 of your laughter echo through the hall

Let the waters rise

set this lonesome heart adrift

Let the waters rise

may they be cold and swift
